ALL SORTS.

Deputy Sheriff Jake Rauen is reSpon-
sible for new amusement that is at
present attracting the attention of the
youngsters in North Minneapolis and
driving the guardians. of the peace
nearly wild. This amusement consists
in Harvesting dogs up to small sulkies
and running them down the street. I'm
der the management of Mr.. Rauen races
are held every evening land the sporting
men of North Minneapolis are endeav-
oring to secure one of the dogs for next
seasons races. Last evening there was
an exciting contest there which came
near causing four fights. A little
dog, while big lad owns small spitZ
dog. These two were harneSSed up and
entered the third race. At the word
''go' they started. After going about a
block the Newfoundland saw that the
spitZ was gaining OH him, and so gently
took him by the ear. In a second the
air was full of dogs, small boys, sulkies
and dust. Manager Rauen cleared
away the wreck as soon as possible, and
has handed in his resignation.
II suppose the police commission is
all right" remarked an officer yester-
day, as he lodged into hall way, and
unbuttoned his coat to get little fresh
air, but it strikes me that there are
some of the biggest chumps in the city
on it. Now, just imagine man hold
ing his club at ''carry" all day, and
being obliged to keep his coat buttoned
tightly. 1t has tendency to fatigue
me greatly, as well as the general pub
lie who see us endeavOring to live up to
the rules. Of course, none of us dare say
word for fear OF being dropped from
the force, but imagine that if the COM
missiOnerS had to follow the rules they
have made they would die inside of a
week."
An attorney who has watched the
progress of the trial of John Schroeder,
stance of II. l.. Gorden, thus delivers
himself in regard to the case: "The
case was the most outrages that has ever
been tried in the district court, and was
a disgrace to our grand jury system.
There was simply nothing to the case,
and it would seem that common decency
should keep such cases from the courts.'
Attorney jim WOrrall has given tout
solid that he will attend no more games
of base ball unless attended by a guard
of police commissioners. The reason
for this heartless decision is that Flynn,
the third baseman, has threatened to
DfON q uOlC eluOuSh IL uC tNcT
brings a dinner bell on the grounds
again.
The edict has gone forth i'm the Trib-
une Office that all employees must wear
their whiskers la Blethen, and in con-
sequence there is considerable indigna-
ton among the members of the local
staff. The member of the force who has
thus far followed the order is the hand
some and accomplished Lieut.. Shaw,
who glides around the corridors of ''the
county court house." 1t improves his
appearance wonderfully.
Judge Mum has grown three inches
taller and his voice has taken on dark
brown tint since he became mixed up in
the WOOdcock will suit. If he wins he
will probably be too proud to speak to
common mOrtalS.
Pat Callahan'S gun, which his grand
father carried in the Revolutionary war,
is in fair way to become famous. Last
evening it was ON exhibition in
Nicollet avenue business house and was
viewed by hundreds, all of whom re-
marked the delicate workmanship and
the cannOn-like bore.
George Smith and Charles E. Dickin-
sOn-lt is our turn next. The reputa-
ton of the corners" must be sustained,
let it cost what it may.
1t goes without saying that the ball to
be given by the Young Mems Democratic
club of the First ward to be next Satur-
day night and not Sunday night as
